Our Pool Refresher is a quick and easy way for divers to refresh some basic skills used in scuba diving.
One of our dive instructors will take you underwater and practice some of the essential and most commonly-used scuba diving skills with you.
We recommend that all divers must have a logged dive
within the past 12 months to participate on our diving tours. If you do not
have a recent dive, it’s a good idea to complete a refresher with us
before heading out on the ocean dives.
Refresher sessions are a simple review of basic dive planning, equipment, theory and dive skills. These sessions usually take 1.5-2 hours and include time in the pool, so you will need to wear
your bathers and bring a towel.
We schedule our refreshers on demand.
If it has been more than 1 or 2 years or you are very unsure of you ability, you can have a look at our comprehensive SCUBA SKILLS UPDATE.
What’s Included:
- All dive gear
- Equipment session – set-up and safety checks
- Pool session
Prerequisites:
- You must be a certified scuba diver.
- Complete a basic medical questionnaire to determine if you are fit to dive.
(medical questions can be found on our website)
Duration:
- Approx. 2 Hours

My husband and I dove with WDA in mid-November, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore the Great Barrier Reef! Chris, Eunice, and Amber were as delightful as they were professional, creating the most thoughtful and memorable dive experience we’ve ever had.
We spent two days diving with WDA and only wish we’d had time for more. What makes them special:
-Small-group, personalized diving: We were 2 of just 8 divers - so different from the 50+ diver boats. As a freshly certified diver, I felt comfortable asking tons of questions before and after each dive and really appreciated the crew's patience and attention.
-Access to pristine reef sites: With a smaller vessel, Chris brought us to incredible, less-trafficked reef locations not accessible to larger operators. We were lucky with the weather, and the reef was unimaginably gorgeous. Chris and Amber were fantastic divemasters, pointing out reef creatures we never would have spotted on our own.
-Thoughtful, safety-conscious service (and great vibes!): The WDA crew is the perfect balance of professionalism and fun. They made us feel completely at ease - from clear safety briefings to fresh-cut fruit and snacks between dives. They were even able to pick us up and drop us off each day (which, not having a car, we really appreciated). Most of all, they were just genuinely kind and personable.
If you're looking for an intimate, reef-friendly, small-group scuba experience from Airlie Beach, we recommend Whitsunday Dive Adventures. Thank you, Chris and team, for an unforgettable experience - we hope to dive with you again one day!
Chris, the captain and dive instructor, was brilliant from start to finish. He helped both our kids complete their final four dives for their PADI Open Water qualification, and his experience, patience and calm approach made all the difference. The kids learned so much under his guidance — by the final dive, their confidence had grown hugely. Chris’s briefings before each dive were clear, detailed, and packed with expert tips (I picked up plenty myself!).
The two adults in our group also dived, and we really appreciated that Chris and his team chose sites based on the best conditions each day — even with some windy weather, the boat ride was smooth and the dives were fantastic.
If you're looking for a professional, friendly and highly knowledgeable team to dive the Whitsundays with, this is the one.
Chris and Amber’s knowledge and passion for diving made for an exceptional experience. The refresher not only brought back confidence but also improved our awareness and technique underwater. Key takeaways included mastering buoyancy, refining breathing control, and a better understanding of dive safety protocols.
Loved the dive spots we visited on the scuba tour with an abundance of marine life sightings.
Thanks also to Eunice who took care of the admin and provided an amazing lunch!
Highly recommend Whitsunday Dive Adventures to anyone looking for a personable and unforgettable diving experience.
Already booked flights back to Whitsunday and look forward to diving with this amazing company again!
Chris’s expertise and approachable manner made the dive both educational and fun, and the team’s overall dedication to ensuring we had a great time was truly exceptional.
We can only recommend this experience to everyone—it was absolutely fantastic! Best rating for this wonderful team.
On the day we went there were 4 people on a course, 1 dsd, one snorkeller and us (2 certified divers - OW and OWSI). We had the option to follow the course or dive in our our buddy team. An excellent briefing was given with a full site description and discussion about dive safety procedures. As a dive professional it's easy to be taken advantage of but here I felt very looked after and respected.
I would 100% recommend this trip to certified and new divers alike. The max capacity of 8 people means that's everyone is very well cared for.
Catered for experienced and learner divers really well.
Would definitely recommend if your a newbie or a dive pro and everyone in between.
Heaps of information and well catered for!
